Valyn Perini

Valyn Perini is a veteran of the travel industry, currently serving as Senior Vice President of Kalibri Labs. She’s worked for hotel companies like InterContinental, Westin, and Swissotel, consultancies, software providers and a standards organization. In her previous role as CEO of Open Travel Alliance, Perini’s focus was on the pursuit of strategies intended to further the goal of standardizing electronic distribution of traveler information in the travel industry.

Open standards “allow trading partners to swap out modules,” explains Perini, “It helps developers see a faster time to market. Maybe something has changed or you’ve got a new product you want to launch with your partner. It makes developers’ lives easier.”
